This article will guide you step-by-step through the BLAZE reconciliation process:
When to Reconcile Inventory, How to Reconcile Inventory, and Viewing Reconciled Inventory. Navigate to the section you wish to learn more.
Note: When submitting inventory reconciliations a note is required. The character limit is 200. If more than 200 characters are entered the reconciliation submission will not submit to Metrc.
Note: If Metrc is enabled, reconciliations process in real-time to the linked Metrc account, unless Do Not Adjust Metrc is selected.
When to Reconcile Inventory
- The inventory count is off
- A duplicate PO has been created
- An audit has been enforced
- When Return to Vendor needs to be canceled/reverted
How to Reconcile Inventory
1. Navigate to the Inventory section on the left-hand side and click on the Inventory Reconciliation tab. Select from the Inventory, Category, and Metrc Adjustment dropdown to reconcile. The products within the chosen Category and Inventory will auto-populate.

- Adjust by Difference: This will adjust the Metrc package based on the "difference" between the current quantity to the actual quantity.
*Intended for purposes if your current inventory does NOT equal your Metrc Inventory. This could be due to transactions not being submitted to Metrc.
- Note: The employee in BLAZE needs to have "adjustment" permissions in your Metrc account.
- Adjust by Actual Inventory: This will adjust the Metrc package to the "actual inventory" listed in the report. *This is intended to match the Metrc package quantity to BLAZE's actual quantity.
- Note: The employee in BLAZE needs to have "adjustment" permissions in your Metrc account.
- Do Not Adjust Metrc: This will adjust the amount listed in BLAZE, but will NOT adjust the amount in Metrc.
*Intended for inventory adjustments made in BLAZE that do NOT adjust inventory in Metrc.
3a. If the Reconcile By Batch checkbox is selected, inventory counts for the selected category/products will be grouped by batch.
Note: If the Reconcile By Batch checkbox is left unchecked the reconciliation will NOT affect Metrc.
